    There's an old friend that
    I once heard say
    Something that touched my heart
    And it began this way

    I was born by the river
    In a little tent
    And just like the river
    I've been running ever since

    He said it's been a long time coming
    But I know my change is gonna come, oh yeah

    He said it's been too hard livin'
    But I'm afraid to die
    I might not be if I knew what was up there
    Beyond the sky

    It's been a long, long time coming
    But I know my change is got to come, oh yeah

    I went, I went to my brother
    And I asked him, "Brother
    Could you help me, please?"
    He said, "Good sister
    I'd like to but I'm not able"
    And when I, when I looked around
    I was right back down
    Down on my bended knees, yes I was, oh

    There've been times that I thought
    I thought that I wouldn't last for long
    But somehow, right now
    I believe that I'm able, I'm able to carry on
    I tell you that it's been a long
    And oh, it's been an uphill journey, all the way
    But I know, I know, I know
    I know my change is gonna come

    Sometimes
    I had to cry all night long, yes I did
    Sometimes
    I had to give up right, for what I knew was wrong
    Yes. it's been an uphill journey
    It's sure's been a long way coming, yes it has
    It's been real hard, every step of the way
    But I believe, I believe
    This evening my change is come
    Yeah, I tell you that my change is come

    It's like a storm
    That cuts a path
    It breaks your will
    It feels like that

    You think you're lost
    But you're not lost on your own
    You're not alone

    I will stand by you
    I will help you through
    When you've done all you can do
    And you can't cope
    I will dry your eyes
    I will fight your fight
    I will hold you tight
    And I won't let go

    It hurts my heart
    To see you cry
    I know it's dark
    This part of life
    Oh it finds us all
    And we're too small
    To stop the rain
    Oh but when it rains

    I will stand by you
    I will help you through
    When you've done all you can do
    And you can't cope
    I will dry your eyes
    I will fight your fight
    I will hold you tight

    And I won't let you fall
    Don't be afraid to fall
    I'm right here to catch you
    I won't let you down
    It won't get you down
    You're gonna make it
    Yeah I know you can make it

    Cause I will stand by you
    I will help you through
    When you've done all you can do
    And you can't cope
    And I will dry your eyes
    I will fight your fight
    I will hold you tight
    And I won't let go
    Oh I'm gonna hold you
    And I won't let go
    Won't let you go
    No I won't

    Ooooh baby
    Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
    Ain't nothing like the real thing, no no
    Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
    Ain't nothing like the real thing

    Oh honey
    I've got your picture hangin' on the wall
    But it can't see or come to me when I call your name
    I realize it's just a picture in a frame

    Ooooo, I read your letters you're not here
    But they don't move me
    And they don't groove me like when I hear
    Your sweet voice whispering in my ear

    Don't you know
    Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
    Ain't nothing like the real thing

    I play my game, a fantasy
    I pretend but I know in reality
    I need the shelter of your arms to comfort me

    No other sound is quite the same as your name
    No touch can do half as much to make me feel better
    So let's stay together

    Oh, I got some memories to look back on
    Though they help me when you're gone
    I'm well aware nothing can take the place of your being there

    So glad we got the real thing baby
    So glad we got the real thing
    Oh honey
    Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
    No darling
    Ain't nothing like the real thing
    Talk to me
    Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
    Ain't nothing like the real thing

    Ain't no way for me to love you
    If you won't let me
    Ain't no way for me to give you all you need
    If you won't let me give all of me

    I know that a woman's duty
    Is to help and love a man
    And that's the way it was planned

    Oh but how can I, how can I, how can I
    Give you all the things I can
    If you're tying both of my hands?

    Oh, it ain't no way
    (Ain't no way)
    It ain't no way
    (Ain't no way)
    It just ain't no way, baby
    (Ain't no way)
    Ain't no way, baby
    (Ain't no way)
    It ain't no way for me to love you
    If you won't let me

    Stop trying to be someone you're not
    How cold and cruel is a man
    Who paid too much for what he got?
    And if you need me like you say, say you do
    Oh then please, please
    Please don't you know that I need you?

    Oh, it ain't no way
    I tell you that it ain't no way
    It ain't no way, it ain't no way, baby, no
    It just ain't no way
    It sure ain't no way
    It ain't no way for me to love you
    If you won't let me
    No way
    If you won't let me
    Ain't no way

    Aretha went with class, busy as she lived her entire life.

    Even her costume changes during the days of her funeral were awesome?

    the photo of her in the casket was tasteless. the photographer getting her from the head laying in a weird way was clearly purposeful for some weird dark laugh. sell it to TNZ kind of BS.

    people suck.

    I wonder if there is a better place in the universe. like, literally a world like ours but without the shit we have. just nice, kindness, no anger. anger causes a person to move inward and not lash outward. and it doesn't wax and wane, nor branch out with negative vibes to others. it doesn't last on and on. At best, simple pulses of inner anger to not be cruel, mean, inflicting hate


    WHERE IS THIS WORLD?

    Yes. Her burial and viewing clothes were changed each day.

    Why do you find it icky that someone would dress a dead body? Its normal procedure, you know.

    what's wrong with that new Congressman's mouth from Massachusetts?

    His lips look all stretched out and rubbery.

    Sorry, OP. Off topic, I know.
